Chapter 43: Why do you talk so much?

Early the next morning.

When Li Jiaci got up.

Wang Yingna was still there, refusing to move.

He wasn't in a hurry to call her; he first went to wake the other brothers, then came back to find her.

"Hey! Get up!"

"No……"

Wang Yingna waved her hand wildly: "Let me sleep a while."

"If you keep sleeping, I'll leave."

Li Jiaci said: "Just stay here by yourself; if withdrawal symptoms show up later, no one will be able to save you."

Hearing his words.

Wang Yingna instantly opened her eyes.

She, somewhat angry, said to Li Jiaci: "Don't you know what it means to cherish and treasure beauty?"

"I don't understand!"

Li Jiaci said calmly: "Because in my eyes, you are not jade, but a maggot."

"You……"

Wang Yingna was getting a bit annoyed with him.

However, there was nothing she could do.

She could only crawl up from the floor that had left her whole body sore, then walk to the bathroom to wash up.

"Hey!"

"Don't you have hot water at home?"

"Washing your face with cold water is healthier!"

"Just say you're poor; why make up so many excuses?"

"I'm leaving."

"No, no, no!"

When Li Jiaci went downstairs.

Several people were already waiting in the car.

And seeing a Hong Kong-style beauty go downstairs with Li Jiaci and then get into the car, they were all utterly astonished.

Li Yihu couldn't help but ask: "Brother! Who is this…"

"Wang LaoBan's sister."

Li Jiaci casually said: "The boss of the Splendid Song and Dance Hall."

"Hello, everyone!"

Wang Yingna smiled and waved at the several people.

And this made the several people in the car widen their eyes even more.

No one expected that this woman's background would be so significant.

They still thought it was their eldest brother secretly looking for a lover because he couldn't stand loneliness.

And it was also because there was one more person in the car.

On the way to the factory afterward, they were all extremely quiet.

When they arrived, many workers had already gotten there ahead of them.

Li Jiaci took out the key, opened the factory door, and then said to everyone: "Today is our first day of work; in the morning, everyone just get accustomed, and we'll start large-scale production in the afternoon."

"As for wages, you don't need to worry."

"As long as everyone does their work well, we will not only give everyone wages but also give everyone bonuses!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and thanked Li Jiaci.

Li Jiaci didn't say much more and immediately let everyone start working.

Many of the workers present were experienced hands who had worked shifts at the lumber mill before and knew how to operate the machinery.

The remaining newcomers who didn't know how to operate the machines assisted the veterans or hauled timber.

"Old Three!"

Li Jiaci called Liu Jiang over and asked: "Did the people you were supposed to contact get in touch?"

"I already called them last night."

"Only Hong Bo asked me for the address, saying he'd come this afternoon."

Liu Jiang said: "The others either said they had unfinished business and could only come tomorrow to take a look, or they just didn't answer the phone."

"Saying they'll come tomorrow basically means they won't come."

Li Jiaci narrowed his eyes and said: "It's fine; we have good goods, so we don't fear lacking buyers…"

Just before starting work.

Li Jiaci specifically reminded everyone: "When work starts later, take turns watching inside the factory."

"Remember what I said: absolutely do not let the workers operate in violation of regulations, and the work must follow the procedure."

Nowadays.

They have only just begun.

If a worker gets injured in an accident now, it would be a devastating blow to them.

Li Jiaci, with a solemn expression, said to the few people present: "Whether we can seize this momentum and rise high depends on the next few months; if complications arise at this critical juncture, we will hardly find such a good opportunity again."

"So, brothers, you all need to work hard."

Wait a few days, once everyone gets used to this work rhythm, there will still be time to rest.

Don't worry, bro!

Li Yihu slapped his chest, making a crackling sound: "We will definitely not let you down."

Then that's good!

Li Jiaci nodded and said: "Go get to work."

After everyone had gone to work.

Li Jiaci then led Wang Yingna and Liu Jiang back to the makeshift office that had been tidied up.

Have you figured out the costs?

I have.

Liu Jiang pulled out a notebook from under the desk.

We ordered a total of three thousand tons of raw wood from Bei Bang, with material costs totaling four hundred thousand.

Transporting this wood from Jiangcheng to Pingzhou requires twenty-five trucks making ten trips each, at ten thousand per trip, for a total transportation cost of one hundred thousand.

Port taxes, seventy thousand!

There are twenty workers in total, with combined monthly wages of nine thousand eight hundred.

Liu Jiang looked at the notebook and said: "Total cost, fifty-seven thousand nine hundred eighty."

Hmm...

Li Jiaci rubbed his chin and asked: "If each ton of raw wood yields 1.5 cubic meters of lumber, then three thousand tons yields 4,500 cubic meters; what is our cost per cubic meter?"

One hundred twenty-six point six...

Wang Yingna almost instantly said that number.

Li Jiaci couldn't help but glance at her, then reached out and patted Liu Jiang's shoulder, saying: "Once we make money later, go get an accounting certificate; after that, you'll be in charge of finance, handling all the money."

Me in charge?

Liu Jiang widened his eyes and hurriedly said: "Bro, this, I'm afraid I can't—I've never handled money before."

You just came out of the womb and haven't even eaten yet—how did you suddenly know how?

Li Jiaci said: "Among us, you're the smartest; no one else could take this position but you."

Exactly!

Before Liu Jiang could speak, Wang Yingna interjected: "The accounting position is crucial for a company."

Not only must you be able to keep accounts, but you also need absolute loyalty to the company, or else major problems will arise.

Wang Yingna said: "Among his brothers, you look the most capable; appointing you to this role couldn't be more fitting."

……

Li Jiaci, somewhat speechless, said: "Why do you talk so much?"

You just found out?

Wang Yingna tilted her head and said: "My older brother at home always calls me Little Chatterbox!"

……

Li Jiaci didn't want to bother with her, turned to Liu Jiang and asked: "By the way, did you find out the lumber price I asked you to check? What's the current price per cubic meter?"

The lumber yard's price is five hundred fifty per cubic meter, a mix of good and bad.

Liu Jiang paused, then added: "But I think there's more bad than good."

Hmm...

Li Jiaci rubbed his chin.

But he hadn't even opened his mouth to speak yet.

Wang Yingna then said: "So that means your lumber, costing 126.6, can at least sell for five hundred and up?"

Good heavens, that's almost a fourfold profit—you're going to get rich!

What's it to you, talking so much?

Do you think I don't know?

Li Jiaci was truly completely speechless at this woman.

From now on, you just stay in this room.

Li Jiaci told Wang Yingna: "Don't go anywhere!"

Oh.

Wang Yingna pouted unhappily but didn't say anything else.
